Summary
We're back with Ilana's LA trip recap, a lot to be grateful for, and two listener questions that made us cry. Ilana returns with two unhinged stories — a barista who said something unhinged to every customer and a saleswoman who congratulated someone on a pregnancy that was very much not happening. We answer a question from a 28-year-old in NYC who's trying not to be bitter about being single, and one that wrecked us both about whether to keep dating while your mom is sick. We close with the follow-up we've been waiting for: the girl who went on a Hinge date with her situationship's friend's roommate wrote back — and they're officially official.
